Tributes have been paid to a respected borough councillor who died last week.
Tom Blane owned a care home in Hesketh Bank, and elected after his son Paul stood down due to business commitments.
Glaswegian Tom was also a parish councillor on North Meols Parish Council and a former chairman; he had worked in the Glasgow shipyards to become a successful businessman.
Cllr. David Westley, Conservative Group Leader, said: "Tom Blane was an excellent borough councillor who was highly effective in representing the residents of his North Meols Ward (Banks).
"First elected in 2015, Tom brought his knowledge and experience in business to the role of councillor and this made him a valued member of the Conservative Group, particularly when serving on a number of committees.
"Tom was highly respected across the political divide due to his natural warmth and generosity. I have a strong feeling of personal loss for a valued colleague and friend.
"My thoughts are with his widow Sue and his family at this very difficult time."
